Have you been wanting to check out Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa on the PC, but your bank account just wont let you? Well, Destructoid can help you out. Let my personal stupidity help your gaming collection get bigger. Win a retail copy of the game just for your idea!

Come up with an original contest idea for another Tabula Rasa prize later on and you could win a copy of Tabula Rasa while you wait. We are looking for an original idea that anyone can join in on.
